Our old disk harrows have tired bearings, and I'm looking for replacement sources.

Probably IH, casting number PB3089.

Any suggestions?

Jack, can you provide a little more info. Are these self aligning ball bearings that fit it the casting that you mention? Do they fit square shaft or use eccentric locking collar on round shaft? Inside and outside diameters might help also.
Here in the East a harrow is a cultivating implement used primarily for pulverizing and smoothing the soil. So, we refer specifically to each type as a Disc Harrow, a Spring Tooth Harrow or a Spike Tooth Harrow. Takes a few more words but sometimes saves a few questions. By example there are many uses of the word disc other than pertaining to harrows. Disc Brakes? In short it is used in Eastern Can. and US.

Shoup has parts for lots of disks, but depends how old we are talking. I think they are online now, not sure of the address, try the obvious. If they are wood, as said a good hardwood bearing is easy to make.

So, what regions of the counrty call these things disk-harrows, and where are they just disks? Around here (southern Minnesota) a disk is the thing with round blades, and a harrow is the thing with spikes that drags over the ground. Saying 'disk-harrow' would just get blank stares. :) But I notice a lot of people refer to them as disk-harrows on the internet.

I've often wondered the same thing. I was raised in Michigan, and never heard of a 'harrow'. We had a disk, a drag (spring tooth harrow) and a spike tooth drag. First time I heard any of 'em called a 'harrow' was after I moved to Maine.

Here in South Dak. we have no harrows. We have disks, drags and duck foots [field cultivator].

Lots of old-timers around here used to call them wheel harrows.

Have you pulled one apart? Is it a split casting? On some of the older disks, the bearings are a composite material, or even wood.

I made new bearings out of wood for my old beater. As long as I keep it greased, it seems to be working fine so far.

A hard maple was what the factories used. you could subsitute other wood but will not absorb and hold the grease like the maple. Dunhan Wood cultipacker or cultimulcher bearings are being reproduced here in my area, Ohio.If interested I can provide an address for these.

What about the spools made of cast iron/white metal, is anyone reproducing them? These things seem to cost an arm and a leg if you can get them from the dealer, especially AGCO.

On the steel ones I have no idea if they are being done or not.

Oak or hickory is commonly used. When I last needed wood bearings for a culti packer (round heavy iron wheels for packing seed bed) Couldn't find any oak of correct size so I used a piece of laminated beam. Easier to drill and cut than oak , but haven't used the equipment long enough to evaluate duability. Dick
